The Philadelphia Women’s Theatre is excited to present our 11th Annual Festival! Two weeks of celebrating local women in the performing arts, taking place August 8th-16th, 2026, at Theatre Exile.

The Philadelphia Women's Theatre fosters and encourages women and nonbinary folks in the performing arts by offering unique opportunities for exposure, professional, artistic and personal development and a platform for performance. ​Our annual festival is a celebration of local woman in the performing arts. We are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion by embracing all people and viewpoints. The theme of this year’s festival is PERIOD PIECES! We are highlighting stories that are set in the past, evoking a particular time period, AND/OR stories surrounding the topic of menstruation.
